Emails

Emails are a very useful, very quick way of communicating; an ideal in our modern,
technological world. They can be a source of interest, amusement or even
disbelief if it is a spam email.

In
my junk folder this week I have emails from four banks that I do not have
accounts with, sending me urgent security updates to which they say I have to
respond or my (non-existent) accounts will be frozen.

My junk
email folder also contained an offer for a penis extension despite the fact
that I do not have one to extend. Call me picky but sending that kind of email
to women is asking for trouble. Either it is of no interest and will annoy them
or give them ideas that their men may require a little help.

The
funniest suggestion by far was an email telling me “how to shrink your clothes”
Hello! An email telling me how to stretch them might be more useful. Thinking
about it I think the internet spies have seen by Facebook profile picture and
just thought they were being hilarious.

Email
does work well to link you to websites, online stores and blogs but it can generate
an incredible amount of emails. Amazon send me so many offers on a daily basis,
as do Odeli. I have never signed up with Odeli.
I tend to sign up to things that may be of interest and send them to
junk if the content turns out to be uninteresting.

Whatever
happens, whether you sign up to emails or not, they will find you and they will
bombard you with emails and some will make you laugh at their total inappropriateness
and others will be of interest. However
many friends you do or do not have, once you open an email account you will
always have a full inbox. (Whether you want it or not.)
